From the HyperbOrean Region

Mr.. A. E. Pomeroy, wife and son,
returned yesterday from a trip to
Alaska. They have been absent four
weeks, and return in fine health and
full vigor. In their visit in that dis
tant land they visited the famous
Treadwell gold mine, owned by Sena-
tor John p. Jones and others. This
mine is supposed to be the largest in
the world. The ledge is 4S0 feet
wide, and the length is unknown. A
quartz mill of 120 stamps is turning
out about $4,000 weekly, and a
further addition of 120 more stamps
will be completed in a short time.
With this addition the mill will be the
largest quartz mill in the world, and
Pomeroy says the mine alone is worth
more than the whole territory cost,
while the lumber and the fisheries are
worth billions. The Government will
not yet permit the cutting of lumber
for sale, but when people can pur-
chase the timberland of that territory,
it is fair to presume that the lumber
business of the Pacific Coast will lay
the whole of the rest of the earth
under tribute and make the country
west of the Rocky Mountains the
richest and most prosperous in the
world.
A peculiarity of the timber of
Alaska is its wonderful density. The
trees stand close together and stately
in size. The cedar trees that in other
lands furnish soft timber there turn
out wood harder than maple and
very beautiful and durable. 1t would
be wonderful help to South Califor-
mia to be able to open a lumber trade
with Alaska in exchange for the fruits
of this region.
Mr.. Pomeroy found the climate
delightful and the sea smooth. In
the beautiful bays and channels in
side of the islands along the coast of
Alaska the scenery was incomparably
fine. Great glaciers extended in some
places nearly down to the waters edge
and at times under the genial influ-
ence of the summer sun great masses
of ice, as large as first class dwell
ing in Los Angeles, would come
cracking, cracking, laundering down,
plunging into the bays with a concus-
sion that set the waves rolling, rock
ing the steamer like heavy storm.
He reports the effect of the great
warm Kuro Simo current in the
latitude of Alaska to be favorable to
vegetation and that the autumn
fingers long and the trees grow in a
most vigorous manner all along the
coast. The scenery of island, bay,
mountain and glacier is rapturously
beautiful.
His representations were so fasci-
mating that his partner, Mr.. Gates,
has determined to go there on a
bridal trip next week. He will wed
one OF the rarest and fairest daughters
of San Jose next week and proceed to
Alaska while this summer holds
the beautiful gates ajar" enabling
the beautiful vessel to sail the blue
bay over before the winters cold shall
close them strong and fast. Mr..
Gates will sail with the best wishes of
his friends for pleasant journey and
safe return.

Athletic Club Bonds.

The Los Angeles Athletic Club has
decided to issue bonds to the amount
of $4,000 for the purpose of raising
funds to erect building OF its own.
These bonds are to be of 800 each
payable inside of ten years, and it is
thought that by this means the Club
will save considerable money. If il
rents or leases building, the expense
will be at least $3.50 per month, where
as if the bonds are issued, the interest
will amount to but 5000 per month
which can be paid out of the rent re-
ceived for the building and a surplu,
remain over for sinking fund.

The Old Home.

On the 18th of next month the we'll
known Hastings Ranch at Sierra
Madre goes to the hammer. 1t seems
pity that this magnificent estate
should be divided-it ought to be
owned by rich man and kept intact
but it is the inevitable result of an
increase in values and the demand for
small holdings.
1t may not be out of place to review
the history of the grand property so
ruthlessly to be segregated. Mr.. G..
c. Hastings of San Francisco, after
years of close application to business,
sought period of rest and quiet in
Southern California, and visiting the
Sierra Madre villa, was so enchanted
with the many advantages OF the To-
cality; its climate and vistas of noun
tain and valley scenery, that he deter
mined if possible to build up a home
for himself in this charming spot and
spend his declining days among so
much that was suggestive of peace and
beauty.
Upon negotiation with various par
ties he made the happy selection of
the spot we have under consideration.
In the erection of the house no ex-
pense was spared. Home comforts
in the interior and architectural beauty
for the exterior, were aimed at and
carried out to the letter by the best
architects. The result is proof of the
assertion, and the mansion is land
mark. While the building was in
progress. Mr.. Hastings divided his SUI
pervision between that and the laying
out of the grounds, and one can
scarcely believe the extent of the
power of mans hand as an auxiliary
to nature in reclaiming the primeval
growth of the virgin soil. Ornamental
and fruit trees were planted, drives
and walks laid down, vines set out and
all natural advantages of the country
brought to bear in the one direction.
White sage gave place to grapes, greass
wood to apricots, brush to peaches,
weeds to carefully cultivated fruits.
Scarcely had the dream of the pro-
prietor been consumated when the
well-worn adage, "L'homne propose
mais Dieu dispose" was once more
fulfilled. Mr.. Hastings was called by
death. His heirs being all ON the At
lantic coast and none of them caring
to change their residence, the Trustees
received orders to sell the estate,
which will now, in the natural order
of things, succumb to the Unsuitable
appetite of the constantly growing pop
ulation for small holdings of land.
The tract will be sold as whole next
month. A full advertisement OF sale
being in another column.

ANAMEIM.
Great Improvements ON the Ta-
pis I'm This Place.


The Mother Colony is gradually and
surely coming to the front. She has
not made the rapid strides Of some of
her neighboring towns, but she is
moving forward in a steady, solid
way, and in the end her merit will
tell. Her prosperity is based on some-
thing more tangible and lasting than
a sickly boom.
New places in Southern California
have more natural advantages than
Anaheim. Her climate is not excelled
in the State, and as health resort she
has no equal. This is evinced in the
continued absence of all epidemic dis
eases and the small number of deaths
in proportion to the population. She
has abundance of good pure water for
domestic use, and her irrigation sys-
tenn supplies all that is needed in that
direction. The quantity and quality
of her products is shown in the in
creasing demand for them abroad, and
by the large shipments continually
made from her depot at the Southern
T, Pacific railroad, this being one of the
heaviest shipping points in the county.
Having never been advertised, her
broad acres of cheap, fertile lands are
but little known to the outside world,
but day by day they are being found
out, and soon Anaheim will receive
the recognition she so highly deserves.
No boom has yet struck the town, but
the quiet manner in which moneyed
men are slipping in and securing all
the good land that can be purchased,
indicates that the boom is not far off.
And when it does comes it will be of
the substantial kind, having all the
elements necessary to make it lasting.
Several times recently the hotels
have been unable to accommodate
those who are seeking homes in this
vicinity, and were obliged to turn
away guests for lack of room. This
state of affairs will not long exist, for
in few days hotel large and COM
modious will be in course of construc-
tion on the Luedke tract, which has
been purchased by syndicate for
that purpose. This hotel will contain
about one hundred rooms, will be of
the latest and finest pattern, at a cost
of not less than $4,000 and will be
completed in time to accommodate
the Eastern tourist.
1t is rumored, in fact the matter is
assuming a form more definite than a
rumor, that before the beginning OF
an other year, not one, but two large
new hotels will be equipped and ready
for use. These, together with the
completion through Anaheim of the
road from Los Angeles to San Diego,
the laying of concrete sidewalks from
one side of town to the other, and the
sprinkling of all the principal streets,
will make Anaheim one of the most
desirable places of residence in Cali
fornia. CARL.

Another Railroad.

The San Bernardino Inder says I:
"The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany have bought the interest of p.
A. Raynor and M. V. Bills, in the
original townsite of Cotton. The
President, F. S. Douty, OF the West
ern Development Company, has tele-
graphed to w. II. Mintzer to with
draw from the market all their unsold
lots. This, in connection with the
fact that the Southern Pacific Com
pany have already surveyed lands
from Cotton to San Bernardino, River
side, San Jacinto and Lugonia, points
to the fact that the company will
build these lines at once"

EXAMPLES Of the different course o.

EXAMPLES Of the different course OF
affairs in South California as COM
pared with the upper portion of the
State come to the surface here every
day. We heard one yesterday from
the victims own lips. Ten years ago
this mans relative came to Los Ange-
les, and Immediately on his arrival
began to induce the other to follow
him from one of the upper counties.
1t took four years to bring this object
about. Things were on the crest of
the wave in the mountain
county along in 1879 and
1850. Had the narrator Of
these facts sold his property then, it
would have brought him SIS, 900. He
wanted more; but things began to go
back. He held on, hoping for a
change for the better. He held and
hoped in vain. In 1886 he sold that
property, lock, stock and barrel, for
5000. Had he taken SIS, 200 in 1880,
brought that sum here and invested
it in property he would have been
worth not less than 100000 in the
least fortunate event, and he stood to
make $500, 1000.

of losing some of them; not in any
danger of permanently missing them,
but in danger of temporary eclipse
of the bright prospects grow
ing out of the matchless. fer
tility of our soil. Heretofore Pacto-
lean stream OF gold has rolled
into this community in return for
thousands Of carloads OF oranges,
grapes, grain, wool, nuts, wines, bran
dies, vegetables, deciduous fruits, and
nearly all the products of all the soils
OF the world. There is vast curtail-
ment of this steady stream of wealth.
1t runs now in a rivulet as compared
with the river of three or four years
ago.
This is an incident OF the great rise
which has taken place in our real
property. That rise is legitimate and
based on solid reasons. The
climate is one OF the elements,
but the soil is the second in
Importance. There is a limit to the
game of making money out of specula'
tive values. The time comes when
prices reach their acme. There is no
limit to the profits to be derived from
a sensible, intelligent cultiva-
ton of such soils as COM
pose our fat mesa lands.
Fruits are growing dearer. Wines
are in less supply than the demand
calls for. Many OF our towns lack
canneries, wineries-every bit OF
machinery requisite TO care for the
crops. Colusa County is crying aloud
to Spreckels to. plant q sugar refinery
there. Butte County is doing the
same. Stockton is urgent that
San Joaquin County is the best in the
State for the growth of sugar
beets. The Pajaro valley has had Mr..
Spreckels inspect that section, and the
people there are busy getting a piece
of land on which to build the factory.
With us beet-root growing is not an
experiment. 1t is a matter of history
for the past twenty years. No region
is better suited to such an industry,
and this city is the center of vast
trade in the refined product.
Yet thus far our business men
and our Board OF Trade have not
lifted finger, uttered a word, nor
penned line in this interest. These
enterprises, gentlemen, call for wis
dom in counsel and the push Of en-
ergy to build them up.
They will not flourish on
any laissez:faire policy. Are there
wisdom and energy among our
business men; snail We get these in
dustries developed; or will they slip
by us like the summer day slips by
the sloth on the tree he devours and
DESTROYS?

PREPARATIONS for the reception and
entertainment of Senator Hearst have
made such rapid progress, that all now
lacking to insure an inspection of this
section by the distinguished states
man is his acquiescence in the pro-
gramme. There is only one contin-
gency in the securing OF this. and that
is whether the Senator will find
it possible to spare a day
or two from pressing business engage
ments. Congress assemblies in a
month from this time. and in the in
terim Mr.. Hearst is to visit
the City of Mexico, where he
has very important interests at
stake. He has not paid that city a
visit for long time, and his doing 50
now is an imperative matter. Our
official heads are now in communica-
ton with the Senator, and we shall
know probably to-day what is to be
the decision,

TO.GlnysS Elections.

The results of to-day's elections will
be waited for with much interest. The
attention OF the Nation will center on
the vote in a few States, while that in
others is too well known before. The
Republicans in Maryland drew into
their confidence few sorehead Demo-
Gratis, and under cry Of reform at
tempted to capture the State. The re-
suit in the city elections in Baltimore
last week was an increased Democratic
majority OF a hundred per cent over
that OF year ago. The State cleo
ton to-day in that Commonwealth will
be just as big surprise to those who
do not know how large reserve vote
there always is to be called out by
emergencies in States with an over
whelming majority for either party.
The election in Mississippi is as GER
tain as that in Maryland. In Louisi-
ana there is Congressman and State
ticket to choose. It will be
a case OF the same thing
over again. Elections in Nebraska,
Iowa and Rhode Island, are as we'll
known in their results this morning as
they will be tonight. But they will
all be for the other National party. It
is as we'll to concede Massachusetts to
the Republicans beforehand, as
large reserve vote is always ready
there when disaster threatens the
party. They will probably need most
of it to-day, but it will be there. The
Democratic nominee for Governor is
very strong man politically, but this is
not the age of miracles. The same
remarks will apply with little change
to Ohio. The Republicans have
working majority there which will
save the party despite the lukewarm-
ness of Senator Sherman, who is much
disgruntled at the coldness OF his State
on his candidacy for the Presidential
nomination. Foraker, in srite of his
bad taste and narrow-mindedness, is
popular in Ohio, and is pretty certain
of election. Elections in Virginia
and New Jersey would attract much
attention, as the vote is pretty evenly
divided in these States, were it not
that New York is the center of the
battle, and to that focus all thought is
drawn. AS has sbeen pointed out in
these columns, politics are very much
mixed in the Empire State. There
are dozen complications in the stu
alton, either of which is an unknown
quantity, and none of which can be
eliminated until the vote is counted.
The Republicans are leaving no
stone unturned to carry the State.
They have even put on their
ticket in New York City two Demo
Gratis, one for District Attorney, and
NA oooEot tic ilOSt IfQDOfulDt
places on the municipal ticket. This
is done in the hope of catching votes
tor the whole ticket. Strange to saw
there is a good deal of apathy dis
played by the New York Democracy
The Republican press has discovered
a mares nest" in the shape Of a
great corruption fund to be
used to-day, but the assertion
OF this partisan press is the only evil
dence of the existence OF such nm
influence. And when went there
by a day since the great party Of
moral ideas came on the arena with
its "soap" in Indiana, and its two
dollar-bill Dorseys and their moral
"fuence" everywhere, that they did
not use the old gag, "stop thief, when
they were "fixin' things?''
